The infant gut may be colonized when the composition of the intestinal microflora ( normal flora ) is insufficient to competitively inhibit the growth of C. botulinum and levels of bile acids ( which normally inhibit clostridial growth ) are lower than later in life .< ref name = Caya2004 >

The adult form of infant botulism is termed adult intestinal toxemia, and is exceedingly rare.

A definite diagnosis can be made if botulinum toxin is identified in the food, stomach or intestinal contents, vomit or feces.

After a short incubation period of a few hours to one day, the germs multiply in the intestinal lumen, causing an intestinal inflammation with diarrhea that is often mucopurulent and bloody.

This is referred to as an enteric or intestinal myiasis.

20 % to 50 % of individuals with intestinal involvement also exhibit cardiac involvement.

In responding to the chemical environment at the intestinal wall, the V. cholerae bacteria produce the TcpP / TcpH proteins, which, together with the ToxR / ToxS proteins, activate the expression of the ToxT regulatory protein.

Treatment consists of supportive care and intestinal decontamination with gastric lavage and activated charcoal.

Examples are arteriovenous fistulae or aneurysms ( with or without thrombosis ), biliary fistulae or aneurysms, sclerosing cholangitis, cysticercosis or hydatid cysts, intestinal duplications, and pulmonary inclusions as seen with cystic fibrosis.

Substantial differences may be expected, however, with respect to intestinal absorption, transport, tissue distribution, and bio-availability.
